Did Bullis kidnap these students from Prep and Landon?

Shouldn't one rather ask why these other schools have done such a poor job of holding onto these students, if they value them?

Transferring schools is a big deal.  They leave behind a school community, close friends and importantly for student athletes, teammates they've forged a close bond with over the course of months or years.

It sounds as if, according to the Gazette article, the transfer student mentioned had to shore up his grades and heal physically before being able to transfer, and that  he was able to find a softer landing at Bullis than elsewhere.

I say, good for Bullis if they are able to provide a better fit for some student athletes than might have been achieved at other schools. The kid -- who might not have found academic success elsewhere -- gets to be the beneficiary of a very fine education (although, yes, I understand that many on this board question just how fine it is) and the school get a terrific athlete who seems thrilled to be there, and is having success on and off the court.

What am I missing? Where is the problem here?
